## Summary

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed a procurement process to update the guidance on livestock manure and silage storage infrastructure for agriculture. The contract, titled "FCP: Livestock manure and silage storage infrastructure for agriculture (C759F)," focuses on documentation services within the agricultural sector. This guidance, crucial for designing and constructing silage and slurry storage solutions, was last updated in 2015. The procurement method was limited and negotiated without publication due to technical reasons, with CIRIA, located in London, being the sole supplier awarded the contract, valued at £150,000. The contract was signed on 1st February 2025 and covers the UK region.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing documentation and update services, particularly those with expertise in agricultural infrastructure. Companies specialising in technical documentation, environmental consultancy, or agricultural engineering may find this a valuable precedent for future contracts as DEFRA may require similar services to keep pace with evolving technologies and practices. SMEs like CIRIA, who have specialised knowledge and previous experience in the sector, are particularly well-suited to compete for such government contracts due to the specificity and technical nature of the requirements.
